About this document
Total vs Effective Porosity Explained by Halitch Hadivitche is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses the differences between total and effective porosity from the perspectives of petrophysics, core analysis, oilfield service companies, and consultants. Total porosity includes all pore space, while effective porosity excludes clay-bound water. There is no consensus on definitions, and effective porosity values are difficult to calibrate to core data. Using total porosity is recommended due to its robustness and ability to be validated by core measurements.
